On June 16, the Embassy informed us that any English certificate accepted by the university would be accepted. Based on this, many students submitted EnglishScore, and some have already received their visas.
However, from one day to the next, students whose files had not yet been processed were asked to provide IELTS, without prior notice. This is especially difficult due to the lack of available IELTS dates.

يُعدّ إجراء اختبار IELTS غير ممكن حاليًا لعدم توفر مواعيد اختبار في الجزائر نضرا للعديد الكبير من الطلبة الذينخم أيضا يريدون حجز موعد من أجل اختبار IELTS وليس فقط الطلبة الذين يريدون الدراسة في إيطاليا، بل ايضا في الدول الأخرى ، وضيق الوقت المتبقي قبل بدء الفصل الدراسي.

I am signing this petition because VFS Global has suddenly stopped accepting English proficiency certificates that were previously accepted by Italian universities. Many students have had their English certificates officially verified and accepted by their universities, yet VFS is now requiring IELTS instead. This sudden change creates unnecessary obstacles and puts students’ study plans and visa applications at risk. We ask VFS and the relevant authorities to respect the English certificate

Our universities accepted and verified our language certificates, and based on this verification, we completed our admission procedures and planned our studies in Italy. It is unfair to change the requirements during the same visa cycle. We are simply asking for fairness and for certificates already accepted and verified by our universities to remain valid for the 2026/2027 academic year.

I sign this petition in opposition to the unfair and discriminatory policy of imposing an IELTS requirement in the middle of the visa application process. Many students, including those who submitted their applications at the same time as us and paid the same fees, have already been given only a few days to comply with this new requirement. We believe that this unequal treatment is unfair and risks seriously affecting students’ academic futures.

We, Algerian students admitted to Italian universities for 2026/2027, respectfully request that the Consulate:
* Continue accepting previously accepted English certificates, including EnglishScore where applicable.
* Apply the new requirements from 2027/2028.
Due to the lack of available IELTS appointments, many students cannot meet the new requirements in time.

I confirm this by signing that the Italian consulate is changing the rules at any moment, which is disrupting the processing of our applications, including the IELTS language requirement that became mandatory after we submitted our applications and there is no slots in this time.

As an Algerian student preparing to study in Italy, this sudden change in requirements puts my visa application and academic plans at risk. Many students have already obtained previously accepted English certificates and cannot find an IELTS appointment in time. We are only asking for a fair transition period for the 2026/2027 academic year. Please consider our situation and support us.
